A Delaware judge says a jury must decide whether a grocery store should be held liable for a collision between a vendor’s snack food cart and a shopper riding an electric scooter.
The judge on Wednesday refused to grant summary judgment in favor of Acme Markets in a lawsuit stemming from the 2016 incident.
Court records indicate that a man was using an electric shopping cart scooter at an Acme store when it collided with a large cart of Tastykake snack cakes being pushed by an employee of a third-party vendor stocking the shelves.

Michael Capriglione, Newport s former police chief, who resigned that job before being elected to a position on the town s governing commission last month, has been barred by a local judge from taking office.
New Castle County Superior Court President Judge Jan Jurden ruled on Tuesday that Capriglione s conviction for official misconduct, which ended a four-decade career with Newport police, disqualifies him from holding public office.
Jurden wrote that the crime that saw him step down as chief calls into question the character of a person in whom so much trust was vested by virtue of his position and thus bars him from holding a similar position of public trust.
